Global markets at a glance
Japan's Nikkei share average topped the psychological
20,000-point mark on Friday for the first time in 15 years
on hopes of stronger corporate earnings, and gained 2.4
percent on the week. The Nikkei rose as high as 20,006 be-
fore ending down 0.2 percent at 19,907.63. The rally has
been driven by many factors, including hopes of higher
shareholder returns, a rise in corporate earnings, a recov-
ery in domestic consumption and more share buying, both
real and imagined, by Japanese public investors.
European shares powered to their highest level since 2000
on Friday, helped by further declines in an already weak
euro that is seen supporting an economic recovery and
boosting corporate profits. The FTSEurofirst 300 index of
top European shares closed 0.9 percent higher at 1,645.25
points, surpassing its 2007 peak and taking its gains so far
this year to 20 percent. Germany's DAX index and Britain's
FTSE 100 index both hit all time-highs while France's CAC
40 rose to its highest level since 2008.
Wall Street Update
U.S. stocks ended a strong week with a broad rally on Fri-
day as investors lauded GE's decision to divest most of its
high-risk GE Capital business and repurchase up to $50 bil-
lion of its shares. The benchmark S&P 500 index was post-
ing 26 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq
Composite was recording 93 new highs and 21 new lows.
About 5.47 billion shares traded on all U.S. platforms

ite for buyers as the BSE Midcap gained 0.4% and Smallcap

COMMODITY ROUNDUP
Copper prices are trading in a non-volatile fashion with for-
tunes now getting linked to Chinese economic data. When
last checked MCX Copper was trading at Rs 379.40 per kg,
up 0.82%. The prices tested a high of Rs 380.65 per kg, and
a low of Rs 377.90 per kg. Copper ores and concentrates
imports were 758000 tonnes in the month of February 2015
compared to 928000 in the month of January 2015, marking
a decline of 18.3% on a monthly basis. If the Fed delays the
rate hikes and as expected by the trading community, Cop-
per can witness fast revival. Fed officials have expressed
concern about the effects of the strong dollar, which is
weighing on the outlook for economic growth and inflation.
Gold bounced back with sharp gains on short covering, tech-
nical buying and amid geopolitical crisis in Yemen. The
COMEX Gold for June delivery sustained above $1200 per
ounce helped the yellow metal to continue gain on Friday.
Gold moved higher, despite the strong dollar. The COMEX
Gold June delivery bounced from one week low level and
quotes at $1,204.20 an ounce, up $10.60 and the Silver May
delivery recovered from three week low level and quotes at
$16.520 an ounce, up 34 cents per ounce. MCX Gold for the
June delivery quotes at Rs 26,715, up 0.73% and the Silver
May contract quotes at Rs 36,925, up 1.77% over last close.
Indian rupee quotes at Rs 62.326, up 1.5 paisa.
Lead futures rose 0.41% to Rs 123.75 per kg today on strong
spot demand amid a firming trend overseas. At MCX lead
for delivery in May traded higher by 50 paise, or 0.41%, to
Rs 123.75 per kg, with a turnover of 19 lots. The metal for
delivery in April rose 40 paise, or 0.33%, to Rs 123 per kg in
a turnover of 798 lots. Besides good demand from battery
makers, a firming trend in the base metal at LME spurred
lead futures here.
Nickel prices moved up by 0.87% to Rs 789.30 per kg in as
speculators enlarged their position, tracking a solid trend in
spot market on increased demand from alloy-makers. Be-
sides, an encouraging trend in metal in the global markets
supported the upside. At MCX nickel for delivery in April
contracts gained Rs 6.80, or 0.87%, to Rs 789.30 per kg in a
business turnover of 1,249 lots. The metal for delivery in
May rose by Rs 6.30, or 0.80%, to trade at Rs 796.50 per kg
in 33 lots. Apart from increased domestic demand from al-
loy-makers, firmness in copper and other base metal over-
seas influenced nickel futures here.

NCDEX
NCDEX ROUNDUP
Steady trend continued in mustard seed futures due to
weak production estimates coupled with poor arrivals in
local mandies. The NCDEX futures settled in green. The total
mustard seed crop is likely to be around 55 lakh tonnes in
2014-15 against 65 lakh tonnes of last year in the same pe-
riod. This is mainly due to weak production in states such as
Rajasthan and MP. The NCDEX futures were also be sup-
ported by thin arrivals in local mandies. The total arrivals
have been reported in the range of 4.50-5 lakh bags ,down
almost 0.50-0.70 lakh bags from the last year in the same
period. This was mainly due to restricted supplies in major
producing states.
Continuing the dismal run for the fourth straight day, crude
palm oil prices fell 1.69% to Rs 429.50 per 10 kg as specula-
tors off-loaded positions because of a fall in demand in the
spot market. Besides, adequate stock position in the physi-
cal market following higher supplies from producing belts
kept downward pressure on prices. At MCX crude palm oil
for delivery in May plummeted Rs 7.40, or 1.69%, to Rs
429.50 per 10 kg in business turnover of 665 lots. Similarly,
the oil for delivery in April contracts moved down Rs 6.30,
or 1.45%, to Rs 428.90 per 10 kg in 681 lots. Off-loading of
positions triggered by low demand in the spot market pri-
marily kept the prices lower in futures trade.

CURRENCY MARKET UPDATES:
The dollar was on track for its first weekly rise in a month
on Friday as jobless claims data eased concern about the
U.S. labour market and attention shifted back to the
chances the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates this
year. The average of the claims is almost 10 year low
level. The US dollar index quotes at 99.81, up 0.56% over
last close.
The Euro quotes at four week low at $1.0582, down 0.71%
on Friday. The euro fell to 1.0603 against the dollar on Fri-
day, having slipped more than 3 percent this week.
The benchmark 10-year bond yield ended up 3 basis points
at 7.80 percent as traders pared positions after the first
auction of notes in this fiscal year. The benchmark five-
year swap rate ended up 3 basis points at 7.11 percent,
while the one-year rate ended up 1 bp at 7.58 percent.
The Indian rupee bounced back against the US currency by
recovering 18 paise to settle the week at 62.31 at the In-
terbank Forex marketon fresh selling of dollars
by banks and exporters in view of sustained foreign capital
inflows into local equity markets.
The domestic currency opened strong at 62.10 per dollar-
nearly one-month intra-trade high — as against the last
weekend’s level of 62.49 on early heavy offerings of dol-
lars. However, it failed to maintain its early gains and
fell back to 62.42 on dollar demand from banks and im-
porters before concluding the week at 62.31, still higher by
18 paise or 0.29 per cent. The domestic currency hovered
in a range of 62.10 and 62.42 during the week.
Banks and exporters preferred to reduce their dollar posi-
tion on expectations of more foreign capital inflows into
local equities after Moody’s upgraded India’s credit rating
outlook. Foreign Portfolio Investors injected USD 200.30
million on first four day’s of the week in local stocks, as per
the Sebi data.
